There are a couple of new ways to play and track your trivia progress on TrivialStudies!

The Live site now has player rankings. Check out the overall leaderboard, or compare rankings across General Knowledge, Themed Trivia, Replay Trivia, question difficulty, and categories. The tables are sortable, and you can find your row highlighted when you are signed in. Players need to answer a minimum number of questions to appear in each ranking.

I have also been building new games over the last few weeks. Take a daily Sudoku challenge, reason through a cube net in Cube Detective, find the hidden pattern in The Missing Rule, or try your hand at Target 24, Word Morph, and Word Equation. There is plenty to keep those puzzle-solving gears turning! 🧩

The main Trivial Studies site and Trivial Studies Live now share the same account login. Use one account to sign in to both. If you choose Log In from the site menu, the Settings page opens with the login window ready for you.

Live quizzes are also becoming a study library, even if you did not play when a quiz was hosted. Finished quizzes become available to non-patrons after 30 days, while patrons can study them as soon as they are finished. When a quiz is available to you, Study mode includes its full question set; recent patron-exclusive quizzes remain restricted.

Visit the Live Quizzes area to see what is available.

As you may have noticed, I am taking a break from writing trivia questions at the moment, but my local pub trivia began a 16-week tournament last night. I was invited to play, and here are some interesting questions from last night.

Back to a long gap between posts. 😥

I've continued posting weekly trivia games, which hopefully everyone knows about. The new quizzes are listed below.

I also added a fun little feature this morning. The other night on "This is Us" I watched Randall and Kevin study using color coded flash cards. This sounded like a good idea, so I added it to the site. Basically every question/answer in "Flash Card Mode" will always appear in the same color. Play these games enough and some color-connection should form in your brain.
If you find the colors annoying let me know and I'll remove them.
